A proxy docker image that can be used to test network connectivity to cloud based BPIPE appliances in the cloud.

This image will launch a NGINX proxy that will direct traffic to a live Bloomberg B-PIPE appliance, for example a Zero Footprint node.

Downstream applications will need to handle authentication like in a regular B-PIPE deployment.

To help deploy this application on ECS/K8 behind a load balancer, a health check endpoint endpoint is provided at /health on a configurable port (defaults to 80). It will return 200 OK upon request.

Note that this is a dummy and is used only to prevent the LB target group from shutting down the container.

• make run : This will point you to a ZFP B-PIPE at port 8194, with healthcheck on port 80.
• make run host=1223.bbg.com port=8194 health_check_port=8888 : This example sets all the parameters manually.
